Screening and Prophylaxis for Venous Thromboembolism in Pediatric Surgery: A Systematic Review. J Pediatr Surg 2024:S0022-3468(24)00345-2. [PMID: 38964986 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2024.05.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The American Pediatric Surgical Association Outcomes and Evidence-Based Practice Committee conducted a systematic review to describe the epidemiology of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pediatric surgical and trauma patients and develop recommendations for screening and prophylaxis. METHODS The Medline (Ovid), Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were queried from January 2000 through December 2021. Search terms addressed the following topics: incidence, ultrasound screening, and mechanical and pharmacologic prophylaxis. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. Consensus recommendations were derived based on the best available literature. RESULTS One hundred twenty-four studies were included. The incidence of VTE in pediatric surgical populations is 0.29% (Range = 0.1%-0.48%) and directly correlates with surgery type, transfusion, prolonged anesthesia, malignancy, congenital heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, infection, and female sex. The incidence of VTE in pediatric trauma populations is 0.25% (Range = 0.1%-0.8%) and directly correlates with injury severity, major surgery, central line placement, body mass index, spinal cord injury, and length-of-stay. Routine ultrasound screening for VTE is not recommended. Consider sequential compression devices in at-risk nonmobile, pediatric surgical patients when an appropriate sized device is available. Consider mechanical prophylaxis alone or with pharmacologic prophylaxis in adolescents >15 y and post-pubertal children <15 y with injury severity scores >25. When utilizing pharmacologic prophylaxis, low molecular weight heparin is superior to unfractionated heparin. CONCLUSIONS While VTE remains an infrequent complication in children, consideration of mechanical and pharmacologic prophylaxis is appropriate in certain populations. TYPE OF STUDY Systematic Review of level 2-4 studies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3-4.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of RBC transfusions with thrombosis in pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and compare this with the transfusion of other blood products and their association with thrombosis. METHODS This was a secondary analysis of the Bleeding and Thrombosis during ECMO (BATE) study, which was a multicenter prospective observational study involving patients less than 19 years of age treated with ECMO. RESULTS 514 patients were analyzed, of which 282 (55%) were neonates (≤31 days) and 302 (58.7%) were male. When analyzing the entire cohort independently of other blood products, each 10 mL/kg of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) was associated with a 1.0% increase in the average number of thromboses (1.010; 1.008,1.013; p < .001). In neonates, each 10 mL/kg of PRBC was associated with a 0.9% increase in the average number of thromboses (1.009; 1.003,1.013; p < .001). In pediatric patients, each 10 mL/kg of PRBC was associated with a 1.2% increase in the average number of thromboses (1.012; 1.008,1.012; p < .001). The percent increase in the average number of thromboses was similar between PRBCs, platelets, and FFP, but increased significantly with cryoprecipitate. CONCLUSIONS RBC transfusions and hemostatic transfusions are likely associated with thromboses in pediatric patients on ECMO.

Demonstrated with the Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study-IV-Pediatric V2V database protocol. Transfusion 2023; 63:1623-1632. [PMID: 37596918 DOI: 10.1111/trf.17507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study-IV-Pediatric (REDS-IV-P) is the fourth iteration of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's REDS program and includes a focus on pediatric populations. The REDS-IV-P Vein-to-Vein (V2V) database encompasses linked information from blood donors, blood components, and patients to facilitate studies in transfusion medicine. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The V2V database is an Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model database. The study period is April 1, 2019 through December 31, 2023. Data from all donors and donations at participating blood centers, all blood components derived from the donations, and all inpatient visits and selected outpatient visits at participating hospitals are included. The database captures all information within patient data domains not restricting data to a preselected subset of medical records. RESULTS The V2V database contains data from 7 blood centers and 22 hospitals. We project the database will have over 2 billion pieces of information from 1.3 million patients with 20.6 million healthcare encounters. The database will include data on approximately 1 million transfused units and 2.3 million donors with approximately 6.8 million donation visits. CONCLUSION The REDS-IV-P V2V database is a comprehensive database with data from millions of blood donors, blood components, and patients. A diverse set of data from the encounters are included in the database such that emerging questions can likely be addressed. The Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model is an efficient, flexible, and increasingly used common data model. The final de-identified database will be publicly available.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The implementation of more active anticoagulant prevention and treatment measures has indeed led to a significant reduction in the incidence of perioperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) among patients with bone trauma. However, it is important to note that despite these efforts, the incidence of DVT still remains relatively high. According to the Caprini score, all patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery were defined as the high-risk group for DVT. Stratifying the risk further within high-risk groups for DVT continues to present challenges. As a result, the commonly used Caprini score during the perioperative period is not applicable to orthopedic patients. We attempt to establish a specialized model to predict postoperative DVT risk in patients with femoral fracture. METHODS We collected the clinical data of 513 patients undergoing femoral fracture surgery in our hospital from May 2018 to December 2019. According to the independent risk factors of DVT obtained by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, the corresponding nomogram model was established and verified internally. The discriminative capacity of nomogram was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC). The calibration curve used to verify model consistency was the fitted line between predicted and actual incidences. The clinical validity of the nomogram model was assessed using decision curve analysis (DCA) which could quantify the net benefit of different risk threshold probabilities. Bootstrap method was applied to the internal validation of the nomogram model. Furthermore, a comparison was made between the Caprini score and the developed nomogram model. RESULTS The Caprini scores of subjects ranged from 5 to 17 points. The incidence of DVT was not positively correlated with the Caprini score. The predictors of the nomogram model included 10 risk factors such as age, hypoalbuminemia, multiple trauma, perioperative red blood cell infusion, etc. Compared with the Caprini scale (AUC = 0.571, 95% CI 0.479-0.623), the calibration accuracy and identification ability of nomogram were higher (AUC = 0.865,95% CI 0.780-0.935). The decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated the clinical effectiveness of nomogram was higher than the Caprini score. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram was established to effectively predict postoperative DVT in patients with femoral fracture. To further reduce the incidence, more specialized risk assessment models for DVT should take into account the unique risk factors and characteristics associated with specific patient populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Growing evidence suggests multiple pathophysiological mechanisms linking red blood cells (RBC) transfusions to thrombosis. This study examined blood donor, component, and recipient factors which may be associated with thromboembolic outcomes following RBC transfusion. METHODS We utilized the Recipient Epidemiology Donor Evaluation Study-III (REDS-III) database on patients transfused in 12 hospitals between 2013-2016. Stratified Cox proportional hazards regression models with time-dependent exposures were used to examine associations of donor and component modification characteristics on venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients transfused RBC units. RESULTS 59,603 patients were transfused 229,500 RBC units during 79,298 hospitalizations with post-transfusion VTE occurring in 1869 (2.4%) of patients. In adjusted regression analyses, a per RBC-unit risk of VTE was present for gamma irradiation (HR = 1.03; 95% CI: 1.02-1.03), female donor sex (HR = 1.01; 95% CI: 1.00-1.01), storage duration greater than 5 weeks (HR = 1.01; 95% CI: 1.01-1.02), AS-1 storage solution (HR = 1.01; 95% CI: 1.00-1.01), and apheresis-derived collections (HR = 1.01; 95% CI: 1.01-1.02). Among recipient factors, male sex (HR = 1.03; 95% CI: 1.02-1.04), pre-transfusion hemoglobin level (HR = 0.94; 95% CI: 0.94-0.94), body mass index strata (HR = 1.11; 95% CI: 1.08-1.14), and principal diagnoses including malignancy (HR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.10-1.16), cardiac arrest (HR = 1.38; 95% CI:1.07-1.77) and hip fracture (HR = 1.59; 95% CI:1.53-1.66) were associated with VTE in adjusted analyses. DISCUSSION We identified several donor, component, and recipient-specific factors associated with VTE in transfused hospitalized adult patients. In adjusted models, the dose-dependent associations of donor and component-specific factors with VTE were modest and unlikely to be clinically significant in the majority of transfused patients. Additional mechanistic and clinical studies linking blood donor and component factors with thrombotic outcomes are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haemorrhage and coagulation disorders are common complications in cirrhotic patients, which cause blood products transfusion, and mounting evidence suggested that red blood cells (RBCs) were associated with pathologic thrombosis and RBC transfusion increased the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). AIMS The aim of the study was to investigate the association of RBC transfusion with splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) in cirrhotic patients. MATERIALS & METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients with cirrhosis admitted in the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital between January 2010 and September 2020. Demographic data, the development of SVT, blood transfusion product type and RBC transfusion dose were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analyses and propensity matching analysis (PSM) were performed to identify the association between RBC transfusion and development of SVT. RESULTS A total of 4479 patients with cirrhosis were enrolled in the study. SVT occurred in 48 (12.4%) cirrhotic patients in RBC transfusion group, and 233 (5.7%) cirrhotic patients in non-RBC transfusion group. RBC transfusion was significantly associated with an increased risk of SVT (unadjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.345, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.686-3.262, p < 0.001). Notably, this association remained robust after PSM, and the volume of RBC transfusion was associated with SVT in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION This study suggested that RBC transfusion was associated with an increased risk of SVT in cirrhotic patients. High quality clinical study will be needed to further validate the association between RBC transfusion and SVT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Increased blood volumes, due to massive transfusion (MT), are known to be associated with both infectious and noninfectious adverse outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the association between MT and outcomes in pediatric trauma patients, and, secondarily, determine if these outcomes are differential by age once MT is reached. METHODS Pediatric patients (ages 1-18 y old) in the ACS pediatric Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) database (2015-2018) who received blood were included. Patients were stratified by MT status, which was defined as blood product volume of 40 mL/kg within 24 h of admission (MT+) and compared to children who received blood products but did not meet the MT threshold (MT-). Defined MT + patients were matched 1:1 to MT-patients via propensity score matching of characteristics before comparisons. Adjusted logistic regression was performed on univariably significant outcomes of interest. RESULTS There were 2318 patients in the analytic cohort. Patients who received MT had higher rates of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) (2.5% versus 1.0%, P < 0.001), acute kidney injury (AKI) (1.5% versus 0.0%, P = 0.022), CLABSI (4.0% versus 2.0% P = 0.008), and severe sepsis (2.3% versus. 1.1%, P = 0.02). On logistic regression MT was an independent risk factor for these outcomes. There was no differential effect of MT on these outcomes based on age. CONCLUSIONS Outcomes associated with blood transfusion in pediatric trauma patients are low overall, but rates of DVT, AKI, CLABSI, and sepsis are higher in those who receive MT+ with no differences based on age.

Abstract
Background Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is an increasingly recognized complication of cirrhosis and possibly associated with mortality. This study aims to evaluate provoking factors for PVT, then establish a concise and efficient nomogram for predicting PVT presence among admitted cirrhotic patients. Materials and methods All cirrhotic patients admitted in Hunan Provincial People's Hospital between January 2010 and September 2020 were retrospectively reviewed, the clinical and laboratory data were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression method were used for screening the independent predictors and constructing the nomogram. The calibration curve was plotted to evaluate the consistent degree between observed outcomes and predicted probabilities. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve was used to assess the discriminant performance. The decision curve analysis (DCA) was carried out to evaluate the benefits of nomogram. Results A total of 4,479 patients with cirrhosis were enrolled and 281 patients were identified with PVT. Smoking history, splenomegaly, esophagogastric varices, surgical history, red blood cell transfusion, and D-dimer were independent risk factors for PVT in cirrhosis. A nomogram was established with a good discrimination capacity and predictive efficiency with an the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.704 (95% CI: 0.664-0.745) in the training set and 0.685 (95% CI: 0.615-0.754) in the validation set. DCA suggested the net benefit of nomogram had a superior risk threshold probability. Conclusion A concise and efficient nomogram was established with good performance, which may aid clinical decision making and guide best treatment measures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To present consensus statements and supporting literature for plasma and platelet transfusions in critically ill children following noncardiac surgery and critically ill children undergoing invasive procedures outside the operating room from the Transfusion and Anemia EXpertise Initiative - Control/Avoidance of Bleeding. DESIGN Systematic review and consensus conference of international, multidisciplinary experts in platelet and plasma transfusion management of critically ill children. SETTING Not applicable. PATIENTS Critically ill children undergoing invasive procedures outside of the operating room or noncardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A panel of 10 experts developed evidence-based and, when evidence was insufficient, expert-based statements for plasma and platelet transfusions in critically ill children following noncardiac surgery or undergoing invasive procedures outside of the operating room. These statements were reviewed and ratified by the 29 Transfusion and Anemia EXpertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding experts. A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases, from inception to December 2020. Consensus was obtained using the Research and Development/University of California, Los Angeles Appropriateness Method. Results were summarized using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation method. We developed eight expert consensus statements focused on the critically ill child following noncardiac surgery and 10 expert consensus statements on the critically ill child undergoing invasive procedures outside the operating room. CONCLUSIONS Evidence regarding plasma and platelet transfusion in critically ill children in this area is very limited. The Transfusion and Anemia EXpertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding Consensus Conference developed 18 pediatric specific consensus statements regarding plasma and platelet transfusion management in these critically ill pediatric populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To present a list of high-priority research initiatives for the study of plasma and platelet transfusions in critically ill children from the Transfusion and Anemia EXpertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding. DESIGN Systematic review and consensus conference of international, multidisciplinary experts in platelet and plasma transfusion management of critically ill children. SETTING Not applicable. PATIENTS Critically ill pediatric patients at risk of bleeding and receiving plasma and/or platelet transfusions. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A panel of 13 experts developed research priorities for the study of plasma and platelet transfusions in critically ill children which were reviewed and ratified by the 29 Transfusion and Anemia EXpertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding experts. The specific priorities focused on the following subpopulations: severe trauma, traumatic brain injury, intracranial hemorrhage, cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, oncologic diagnosis or stem cell transplantation, acute liver failure and/or liver transplantation, noncardiac surgery, invasive procedures outside of the operating room, and sepsis and/or disseminated intravascular coagulation. In addition, tests to guide plasma and platelet transfusion, as well as component selection and processing, were addressed. We developed four general overarching themes and 14 specific research priorities using modified Research and Development/University of California, Los Angeles methodology. CONCLUSIONS Studies are needed to focus on the efficacy/harm, dosing, timing, and outcomes of critically ill children who receive plasma and/or platelet transfusions. The completion of these studies will facilitate the development of evidence-based recommendations.

Ikeda T, Terada R, Nagura Y, Okazaki H. High-dose intravenous iron supplementation after preoperative autologous blood donation is useful to prevent post-donation/preoperative anemia. Transfus Apher Sci 2021; 61:103348. [PMID: 35012842 DOI: 10.1016/j.transci.2021.103348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Revised: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
To estimate the effectiveness of high-dose intravenous (IV) iron supplementation for iron deficiency anemia after preoperative autologous blood donation (PAD), 155 donors who visited the donation office of the University of Tokyo Hospital from December 2020 to June 2021 and showed suspected post-donation anemia were analyzed. The participants were treated with high-dose intravenous (IV) iron supplementation (high-dose group, n = 30) or a combination of low-dose IV iron and oral iron supplementation (low-dose group, n = 125). The preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) and Hb decreasing ratios during PAD (ΔHb) were compared between the two groups. Multivariate linear regression analyses were also performed to identify the confounding factors associated with preoperative Hb and ΔHb as well as high-dose IV iron supplementation. Preoperative Hb level was slightly higher in the high-dose group than in the low-dose group (12.1 ± 1.1 vs. 11.9 ± 1.1 g/dL, p = 0.27). ΔHb was significantly higher in the high-dose group than in the low-dose group (3.7 % ± 8.8 % vs. 7.7 % ± 6.5 %, p = 0.011). On the multivariate linear regression analyses, high-dose IV iron supplementation was significantly associated with higher preoperative Hb and lower ΔHb levels (p = 0.021 and 0.017, respectively) as well as the donation available period (period from the first visit to the donation office to the operation) and administration of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. High-dose IV iron supplementation after PAD will be useful in the treatment of post-donation anemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between perioperative red blood cell (RBC) infusion and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has not been determined. OBJECTIVES To analyze the time-event relationship between perioperative RBC infusion and DVT in patients with femoral and pelvic fractures after adjusting for confounding factors and to provide reference for optimizing DVT risk factors. METHODS The clinical data of 569 patients with femoral and pelvic fractures who received surgical treatment from May 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed on 20 covariates of DVT. With the formation or progression of DVT after RBC infusion as the end point, the time-event relationship between perioperative RBC infusion and DVT in patients was analyzed by binary logistic regression. RESULTS After 1:1 PSM of 569 patients included in this study, 126 patients were in the transfusion group and the non-transfusion group, respectively. Before PSM (P = 0.023, OR = 1.496 [95% CI, 1.058-2.115]), perioperative RBC infusion was associated with DVT formation for femoral and pelvic fractures. This conclusion was still obtained after PSM (P = 0.038, OR = 1.728, 95% CI = (1.031, 2.896)). The risk of DVT in patients with RBC infusion of 2-4U and > 4U is 1.833 and 2.667 times that of ≤ 2U, respectively. After excluding patients who received preoperative RBC infusion and had DVT formation or progression prior to RBC infusion, perioperative RBC infusion was still associated with the formation of DVT in femoral and pelvic fractures (P = 0.037, OR = 2.231 [95% CI, 1.049-4.745]). CONCLUSION Perioperative RBC infusion is one of the causes of DVT in patients with femoral and pelvic fractures, and the risk of DVT is positively correlated with the amount of RBC infusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Massive transfusion protocols (MTP) are a routine component of any major trauma center's armamentarium in the management of exsanguinating hemorrhages. Little is known about the potential complications of those that survive a MTP. We sought to determine the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following MTP. We hypothesized that MTP would be associated with a higher risk of VTE when compared with a risk-adjusted control population without MTP. METHODS The Pennsylvania Trauma Outcome Study database was retrospectively queried from 2015 to 2018 for trauma patients who developed VTE and survived until discharge at accredited trauma centers in Pennsylvania. Patient demographics, injury severity, and clinical outcomes were compared to assess differences in VTE development between MTP and non-MTP patients. A multivariate logistic regression model assessed the adjusted impact of MTP on VTE development. RESULTS 176 010 patients survived until discharge, meeting inclusion criteria. Of those, 1667 developed a VTE (pulmonary embolism [PE]: 662 [0.4%]; deep vein thrombosis [DVT]: 1142 [0.6%]; PE and DVT: 137 [0.1%]). 1268 patients (0.7%) received MTP and, of this subset of patients, 171 (13.5%) developed a VTE during admission. In adjusted analysis, patients who had a MTP and survived until discharge had a higher odds of developing a VTE (adjusted odds ratio: 2.62; 95% CI: 2.13-3.24; P < .001). DISCUSSION MTP is a harbinger for higher risk of VTE in those patients who survive. This may, in part, be related to the overcorrection of coagulation deficits encountered in the hemorrhagic event. A high index of suspicion for the development of VTE as well as aggressive VTE prophylaxis is warranted in those patients who survive MTP.
